/* Macro to wrap up standard try/catch behavior.

   The double loop lets us correctly handle code "break"ing out of the
   try catch block.  (It works as the "break" only exits the inner
   "while" loop, the outer for loop detects this handling it
   correctly.)  Of course "return" and "goto" are not so lucky.

   For instance:

   *INDENT-OFF*

   volatile struct gdb_exception e;
   TRY_CATCH (e, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
     {
     }
   switch (e.reason)

   throw_exception() than all cleanups installed since
   catch_exceptions() was entered are invoked, the (-ve) exception
   value is then returned by catch_exceptions.  If FUNC() returns
   normally (with a postive or zero return value) then that value is
   returned by catch_exceptions().  It is an internal_error() for
   FUNC() to return a negative value.

   For the period of the FUNC() call: UIOUT is installed as the output
   builder; ERRSTRING is installed as the error/quit message; and a
   new cleanup_chain is established.  The old values are restored
   before catch_exceptions() returns.

   The variant catch_exceptions_with_msg() is the same as
   catch_exceptions() but adds the ability to return an allocated
   copy of the gdb error message.  This is used when a silent error is 
   issued and the caller wants to manually issue the error message.
